Congestion Management Rules for John F. Kennedy International 
Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Limited Slot Allocation demonstration.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces a meeting to hold a demonstration of the 
allocation method that the Federal Aviation Administration will use to 
allocate limited slots for its congestion management rules for John F. 
Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, 
and LaGuardia Airport (Final Congestion Rules). [Docket No. FAA-2008-
0517, Notice No. 08-05 and Docket No. FAA-2006-25709, Notice No. 93-
87].

DATES: The Limited Slot Allocation demonstration is scheduled for 
December 04, 2008, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Eastern Time.

ADDRESSES: The demonstration will be held in the FAA headquarters, 800 
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC, in the FAA auditorium.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, TO RSVP OR TO CONTACT THE AGENCY REGARDING THE 
MEETING: Molly Smith, Office of Aviation Policy & Plans, Federal 
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 
20591; Phone 202-267-3274; Fax: (202) 267-3278; E-mail: 
[email protected]. Please RSVP by November 26, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As discussed in the Final Congestion Rules 
all operators with more than 20 slots at the affected airports will 
have a percentage of slots designated as Limited Slots, which will 
expire prior to the expiration of the Final Congestion Rules. Limited 
Slot leases will expire over the first five years of the Final 
Congestion Rules. The number of years of lease duration for Limited 
Slots would be distributed in a manner that fairly distributes the 
relative length of lease durations among carriers in proportion to 
their initial holdings. The Final Congestion Rules designate that 
carriers identify one-half of their limited slots by hour of the day; 
the FAA will then choose the remaining 50 percent to fairly distribute 
the total across the day. Thereafter, the slot lives for all limited 
slots would be assigned by FAA.
    The Limited Slot Allocation Demonstration is open to the public 
although reservations are required by November 26, 2008. Seating at the 
meeting is limited so priority will be given to the Port Authority of 
New York and New Jersey and the carriers operating at the affected 
airports.
    Persons with a disability requiring special accommodations, such as 
an interpreter for the hearing impaired, should contact the FAA contact 
noted above at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the meeting.

Robert Robeson,
Manager, Systems & Policy Analysis Division.
